Edition 2010
The Lazarus Project, Novel, Riverhead, 2008
The 2010 Jan Michalski prize for literature was awarded to the writer Aleksandar Hemon for his novel The Lazarus Project, whose most remarkable aspect, leaving aside the ever-present black humour and the unbelievable richness of the language, is the ability to manage two narrations simultaneously at two distinct historical periods. 1908: the still obscure assassination of Lazarus Averbusch, a young man who had escaped the pogroms, a Ukrainian Jewish emigrant, against a background of anarchist agitation in Chicago, and 2003 : the journey of the Bosnian writer on the traces of Lazarus, in Ukraine, Moldova and Romania.
The winner of the Jan Michalski Prize 2010, Aleksandar Hemon receives an award of CHF 50,000.00 and a work by the artist Olivier Estoppey that has been chosen for him.
